in reply to Is there a length limit to a string? In a flat file?

Occationally, I will suck whole chromosomal sequences into a single string and when I am done with it, write it out to a file without a single line break. The largest chromosome is chr 1, which is about 270 Mb (that megabases, but megabytes works too). Granted, you have to have a lot of memory to do that, but I don't have memory problems.
